I feel very much like, Karen. I don't see too much more writing in my future - perhaps just my blog/substack, but no more books. I'm also playing with mixed media collage after having creating my animal oracle deck in this fashion and I so enjoyed the process. While I've got a few of my pieces at a local home and garden shop (that benefits animal welfare and nature conservancy which I love!) I also offer them for sale via my website shop. Sold a few pieces so far, though still feel uncertain where this will all take me. But at this point in my life, I'm feeling like Karen, and just not sure about the 'rough and tumble' of selling my creative work outside of what I currently am doing.

This could be useful for me. I'm currently transitioning away from writing because it no longer brings me joy. Instead of abruptly stopping, I'm winding down by completing my current writing projects and possibly getting them published. I'm uncertain about what I'll pursue next. I have been doing photography for a while and enjoy it, as long as I don't take it too seriously. I've realised that I'm not suited for the rough and tumble of selling my creative work.
